The Enneagram Edge with Host Tracy O’Malley

There’s a version of you that moves fast. Decisive. Powerful. Doesn’t hesitate. And for a long time… it works. Until it doesn’t. In this episode, recorded on my 54th birthday, I pull back the curtain on a pattern that hid inside my strength for decades: Ultimatum energy The kind that says: “This has to work… or else” “This is how it has to go” “Do it… or everything falls apart” It gets results. Bu...

You were invited. You went first. You survived the initiation. And now you’re here—the part most people never reach. Because invitation feels electric. Initiation feels intense. But integration? Embodiment? That feels steady. And steady is where leaders are built. This episode is about what happens after the leap—when courage stops being an event and becomes your identity. What You’ll Learn in Thi...

You went first. You felt the nudge, told the truth, made the call, and jumped. And then… the noise stopped. No parade. No instant confirmation. Just space. This episode is about the moment no one prepares you for—the initiation that comes after courage. The silence. The grief. The recalibration. And how to stay rooted when relief and terror coexist in the same breath. What You’ll Learn in This Epi...

There is a moment—quiet, internal, undeniable—when you realize you’re being asked to go first. Not first to perform. Not first to prove. First to tell the truth. First to stop pretending something fits when it doesn’t. First to move without permission, applause, or certainty. In this episode, we talk about that moment—why it’s so unsettling, how your wiring influences your resistance, and what it...

We’re in the year of the fire horse—and if you already feel like you’ve been bucked off the saddle, you’re not failing…you’re being invited to lead yourself differently. In this powerful first interview of 2026, I sit down with one of my closest friends and greatest teachers, Amber Lilyestrom, to talk about self-leadership, money, nervous system safety, sovereignty, and the subconscious codes that...

It’s mid-January and if you’re already exhausted, frustrated, or quietly wondering what the hell just happened—you’re not broken. This episode isn’t hype. It’s discernment. The year of the horse doesn’t care about your declarations; it cares about your regulation, your timing, and your truth. Speed is reactive. Torque is power applied on purpose. In this episode, I break down why January lies to u...

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from doing too much—it comes from holding on for too long. Not hustling. Not striving. Just gripping something you already know is complete. This episode closes out 2025 as “the year of the snake”: the season of shedding what once protected you, not because it failed, but because staying in it will suffocate your growth. Real leadership isn...

You made the brave call. You announced it. You felt the surge. And then—silence. Your soul said yes, but your nervous system is screaming abort. This episode is for the messy middle: the hour, day, or week after the pivot when the old life is gone and the new one isn’t formed yet. I break down what’s actually happening in your body and identity, why it feels like panic, and how to walk yourself th...

Thirteen years ago, I woke up at rock bottom. I thought sobriety meant losing my fun, my freedom, my edge—but what it really gave me was everything I’d been craving: authenticity, alignment, and freedom. In this episode, I share the story of that turning point, the lessons sobriety has taught me, and how they apply to every single one of us—whether your vice is alcohol, people-pleasing, work, or r...

You’ve been circling a decision—you can feel it in your body. One moment you see yourself freer and bigger on the other side. The next, fear pulls the brake and whispers what if you blow up your life? You stall, wait for clarity, and call it timing, but deep down you’re not stuck because you don’t know the answer—you’re stuck because you don’t trust yourself to choose it. In this episode, Tracy br...

You believe in your work with every cell in your body—until it’s time to market it. Then you freeze, overthink, stall, water it down, or avoid it altogether…and beat yourself up later. You’re not broken, bad at business, or missing the magic strategy. Marketing feels so personal because it is personal—it brushes up against identity, worth, and your deepest fear of being misunderstood or dismissed....

You can be surrounded by people—friends, colleagues, even family—and still feel completely alone. If you’ve ever worn the “lone wolf” badge like a crown, only to realize one day it’s really a cage, this episode is for you. I know this story because I’ve lived it. For years, I prided myself on being self-sufficient, strong, unstoppable—and I was. But I was also starving for connection. In this epis...

You’ve chased the hacks, the funnels, the scripts, the formulas—and maybe they gave you a little traction. But not the kind of impact or income you know you’re capable of. Here’s the truth: strategy will only take you so far. Success doesn’t come from saying more, it comes from being heard. And people don’t hear you because you’re louder or smarter. They hear you when they feel seen, understood, a...

We’ve all been there—you’ve built a life that looks good on paper. The job works, the bills are paid, the people around you love you. If someone asked, you’d say you’re fine. But deep down, you know better. Fine is the counterfeit. It mimics peace, but it steals your fire. It’s just comfortable enough to keep you from risking what’s actually waiting for you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the c...

Ever had someone hurt you so deeply it made you want to slam the door, burn the bridge, and never look back? I’ve been there — more than once. And for a long time, I thought strength meant holding the wall high and making damn sure they’d never get another shot. But a few years ago, a betrayal tested every ounce of “walk your talk” I claimed to live by. This episode isn’t about fluffy, kumbaya for...
